I suspect your host does not have image::magick installed.

Somewhere around here was a link to a helper script that will list the modules installed, paths etc.

You may be able to install in your web space.

It must installed somewhere other than in the directores in the @INC path.

If you know where it is you can add to that path using

use lib '/path/to/wherever/it/is';

use Image::Magick;

after my $image_name = shift; you could add print "$server_media_path/images/category/$image_name"; for debugging to see if it is looking in the right place.

Wayne,

How can I set this up to use across all images in CCP, or at the very least all product and category images?

No, this displays the image at it's current size. It puts the actual image dimensions in the img tag overriding the global settings in ccp.

to use this for other images, you need to edit the image display routines for products, small product image and in ccp 5.1 the extra large product image.

The way it is done is similar.

image::magick is a very powerful module capable of image manipulation and creation I suggest you read 

I visited both these sites and was unable to locate and images with popup windows, I probably just didn't know which products are using popups.


and


can you let know which pages and which ites so I may check them out?

this is all great BUT

who knows how to install Image::Magick on a web server that i am renting space from.  i have it installed perfectly on my computer with apache2 for windows and the release of activestateperl.....but, who knows how to install the module on a web server if you dont have root access?????

You might not necessarily need root privileges...

From the ImageMagick download page:

By default, make install
will install the package's files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib', etc.. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'. This is valuable in case you don't have privileges to install under the default paths or if you want to install in the system directories instead.

Good Luck!
